Although Wu Hui had always wanted Li Linlin to pursue her career, but now that Li Linlin was suddenly so motivated, Wu Hui felt flustered for no reason. “Of course it’s best if you think so, but—”

“There’s no but.” Li Linlin put down the documents in her hand and glanced at Chen Xi who had just walked out of her own room. “Just in time, Xixi, I have something to tell the both of you.”

Chen Xi glanced at Wu Hui, who had the same confused expression, and walked over uncertainly. “What is it?”

Li Linlin said, “I’m going to move out of here. If you guys want to stay, I will move back home. If you want to move with me, we will find another place.”

Chen Xi was stunned and asked her, “Why do you suddenly want to move out?”

Li Linlin answered, “Because I’ve severed all ties with Chen Yiran. I will not continue to live in his house.”

“……” Chen Xi didn’t expect this matter to be so serious. “Is it because of his blind date? You’ve met with him?”

Li Linlin fiddled with the documents on the table and said casually, “Oh, we accidentally met when he’s having meal with his date.”

Wu Hui and Chen Xi glanced at each other, then cautiously asked her, “Was it yesterday?”

“Hmm.” Li Linlin nodded. “He said the two of them might get married.”

“……What?” Chen Xi was shocked. Although she was also surprised when she heard the details, she subconsciously thought that Chen Yiran was just casually getting on dates and that it would definitely not succeed in the end. She didn’t expect that he had been considering marriage? “No way? Did Brother Yiran say that to you?”

“En, he said that at their age they’re meeting with marriage in mind.”

“……” Chen Xi held the back of the sofa and sat down next to Li Linlin. “No, I have to take it in slowly.”

Wu Hui also calmed herself down. She looked at Li Linlin and said, “If you want to move out, I will definitely move with you. I’m your manager, there’s no point in living here by myself.”

Li Linlin asked, “What about you, Xixi?”

Chen Xi said, “If the two of you are leaving, I will definitely follow you. What am I going to do if I stay here alone?”

“Okay.” Li Linlin smiled at the two of them. “We’ll look for a house by ourselves. As for Assistant Wu, I’ll have to trouble Xixi to inform him about it.”

“Alright.” Chen Xi agreed. In her heart, she couldn’t help but think that Linlin really wanted to break off all ties with Brother Yiran. Even Assistant Wu was being cut off.

“That……” Wu Hui interrupted, “It doesn’t matter if we don’t stay here anymore, but I have a little question.”

Li Linlin looked at her, “Tell me.”

Wu Hui said, “Are you still going on the variety show? 《A Meal in the Woods》 is also invested by Huachuang and it’s also being publicize in one of their channels……”

Li Linlin furrowed her brows and said to Wu Hui, “I’ve thought about this as well. Of course I want to quit directly, but if I quit halfway, it will definitely affect the show. I never like to affect others because of my own affairs.”

“I feel relieved when you say that.” Wu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Linlin had no ambition, she would do her best to complete any job she took on.

“Besides, the program group is paying a lot of money, so it’s a waste to give it up when I’m just slacking off anyway.”

Wu Hui: “……”

Okay, she’s taking back that statement she just made. 🙂

Chen Xi looked at Li Linlin with a worried expression. “Linlin, are you really alright? Why don’t you cry it out? It’ll make you feel much better.”

Li Linlin said, “No need, I went to the KTV yesterday to find little brothers and sang all afternoon!”

Chen Xi: “??”

Why didn’t Li Linlin take her??

“You two don’t need to worry, I’ve already figured it out.” Li Linlin said, “I have always worked hard since I was a child. It’s just that I used to do it for Chen Yiran, but now I’m working hard for myself!”

“Well said!” Wu Hui stood up and applauded Li Linlin. “As the saying goes, when a woman falls out of love, her career takes off! Men are nothing!”

“Yeah, men are nothing!”

Chen Xi: “……”

After Li Linlin and Wu Hui injected chicken blood^[1]to suddenly become hyperactive, high-spirited or aggressive into each other, they began to make preparations for the move. Li Linlin had never rented a house before and she even downloaded the rental software. She did some research but felt that no house anywhere was attractive to her. It’s still her big villa that’s the best.

“Hey, how about I go to the ladies group and ask? I feel like the older sisters must have a lot of real estate.” Li Linlin felt dizzy and thought of a shortcut. When Wu Hui heard this, she felt that this method was feasible. “It’s possible, but others may not be willing to rent them to us.”

“That’s fine. I’m just asking and won’t force them to rent.” Li Linlin said as she clicked and opened the ladies chat group. “Besides, even if they’re not renting, they might know someone who has a high-quality house for rent. The older sisters definitely have wider connections than us.”

“That makes sense. Then you ask while I continue looking online.”

Chen Xi watched them silently from the side, then took out her mobile phone to find Assistant Wu’s number.

———pr

Assistant Wu was helping Chen Yiran find new properties again. He didn’t like the ones he collected last time. This time, there’s a property that looks very good. Based on his understanding of Chen Yiran, it’s very much in line with his taste.

Only, in addition to this real estate information, he had a tricky piece of information that he hadn’t yet figured out how to present to Chen Yiran.

“Is there anything else?” Chen Yiran put the real estate information that Assistant Wu had just sorted aside and prepared to look at it later, but he saw that Assistant Wu had been standing there hesitantly. “Just tell me straight if you have anything to say, stop hesitating.”

“Um…… It’s about Miss Li Linlin. I don’t know if President Chen……”

“Say it.”

Assistant Wu nimbly placed enlarged photos on the president’s desk. “These are the photos our people took at the KTV yesterday!”

He finished speaking rapidly and wanted to leave Chen Yiran’s office right away.

Sure enough, Chen Yiran’s expression changed when he saw the photos. “It happened yesterday? Why didn’t you tell me then?”

“I just received the photos today. Those colleagues went to accompany a client to the KTV and only have time to mention it to me now……”

Chen Yiran pursed his lips and said nothing, obviously dissatisfied with Assistant Wu’s explanation.

“Did you ask where they went?”

His tone was much lower than before and Assistant Wu’s little heart couldn’t help but start to tremble. “Yes! They said Madam Qiu from Jinqi Technology took her away!”

“It’s her again.” Chen Yiran furrowed his brows and glanced at the photos on the table. They were taken when Ann was carrying Li Linlin in his arms as they were leaving the KTV. Li Linlin was holding a microphone in her hand and leaning on the other person’s shoulder, looking drunk.

Chen Yiran narrowed his eyes. He crumpled the photos into a big ball and threw it on the ground.

Assistant Wu: “……”

The room was extremely quiet. Assistant Wu wanted to advise him to call Li Linlin, but he didn’t dare to speak at all. Just then, his phone rang. He originally wanted to hang up, but when he took it out of his pocket, he found that it was Chen Xi calling, so he answered it with a swipe of his finger.

“Hello, Assistant Wu, this is Chen Xi.” Chen Xi scratched her face on the other end of the phone and organized her words. “It’s like this, I want to inform you that Linlin, Wu Hui, and I are planning to move out of Yinwan. We can tidy the things ourselves, so we won’t bother you. We’ll also find a new house by ourselves. Could you please tell Brother Yiran about it?”

“……Oh, okay.” Assistant Wu hung up the phone and glanced up with difficulty at the man sitting behind the desk with a cold face.

Chen Yiran frowned. He looked at Assistant Wu and asked, “What is it now?”

“Chen Xi called.” Assistant Wu felt that if he didn’t get this right, he’s afraid he would be held accountable right there.

“Xixi? What did she call you for?”

“She told me they’re moving out of Yinwan and will be looking for their own place.”

Chen Yiran’s brows tightened even more. “Nonsense. Did she say where they’re looking for a house?”

“She didn’t tell me.”

Chen Yiran pursed his lips. He glanced at the crumpled ball of photos he had just thrown on the ground, stood up and headed out. “We’re going to Yinwan.”

“But President Chen, you have a meeting in half an hour.”

“Postpone it.”

“Yes.” Assistant Wu helped him arrange a car and informed the secretaries that the meeting was postponed as he followed Chen Yiran into the elevator in a hurry.

Chen Yiran had only visited the house in Yinwan twice. Once when he bought it and once when it was renovated. He never went there again. Even when he sent Li Linlin back last time, he only came downstairs before returning.

Assistant Wu even suspected that he didn’t remember which floor and number his house was.

Chen Yiran had a lot of property so it’s normal for him to not remember the house number of each one. However, he remembered Yinwan, after all, that’s where Li Linlin and the girls were staying at.

After arriving at Yinwan, he took the elevator and went straight to the 23rd floor. The elevator was running very fast and Assistant Wu watched the numbers on the screen gradually rise, feeling his heart slowly rising to his throat.

With a ding, the elevator arrived on the 23rd floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Chen Yiran stepped out of it with his long legs.

Just as he walked out, he saw a man standing at the door of his house.

Coincidentally, it was the same man carrying Li Linlin at the KTV.

Although he was dressed more casually, Chen Yiran still recognized him at a glance. His steps paused for a moment and his brows furrowed. Immediately afterwards, Li Linlin walked out of the house and put a cardboard box into the man’s hand. “There’s also this, thank you.”

Lu Ruizhou said, “Okay” and smiled.

Lu Ruizhou had already seen Chen Yiran just now. Li Linlin noticed that his expression was a little strange so she looked over him and also saw Chen Yiran standing in front of the elevator.

The smile on Li Linlin’s face collapsed. She turned around and went inside the house to get her luggage. Chen Yiran strode up and called her from behind, “Li Linlin, stop!”

Lu Ruizhou subconsciously took a step to the side, blocking Li Linlin behind him. This move made Chen Yiran even more displeased.

“Why are you here?” He looked at Lu Ruizhou, his eyes frosty. “Don’t tell me you stayed here all night?”

The heart of Assistant Wu who was following Chen Yiran was about to jump out of his chest. No way, no way, Little Sister Linlin didn’t let this man stay overnight, right?!

Li Linlin dragged her suitcase, poked her head out from behind Lu Ruizhou, and smiled at Chen Yiran. “Truth be told, he’s been living here for quite some time.”
